| Being in the navy and hence moving around a good deal even to other countries, I found that everywhere I went and attended Mass, we all stood and knelt at the same time, we all said the prayers together in the same language: Confiteor Deo, Credo in Unum Deum, Pater Noster, and so on, behind the priest who was facing the altar. The 173-to-29 vote approved alterations to well-known texts such as the Gloria, the Confiteor, and the Sanctus ("Holy, holy") that bring them closer to word-for-word conformity with the original Latin texts. The ICEL proposal would return the "mea culpa" ("through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault") to the Confiteor. |
